Purple rumped Sunbird female

[Mrudul Godbole]

From my archives. Photographed in a garden in Bangalore. I think it is a purple rumped sunbird female and not a purple sunbird female as it has a grey throat and indistinct supercilium. Please confirm.

Canon 50D, Canon 100-400 mm lens, f5.6, 1/500, ISO 200, hand held, full frame

Comments and critiques welcome

Wow ! great sharpness even at 1/500 handheld. I guess that must be pretty close to be a full frame.

Lovely colours and composition. Thanks for sharing.

This one has come out well. One can get some good shots in gardens as well without going to forests. This image is a proof of that. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice picture of the sunbird clinging delicately on the branch, Mrudul. I wonder if Bangalore still has any gardens left, with rapid commercialization and vehicles on the road I wont be surprised to see flora and fauna tainted with grease and smoke. Its a welcome relief to know such gardens as where you've been, still exist. Thanks for sharing.
